Hi all,
Here is my first attempt at a vignette. It is a recreation of the first two
lines of the famous Australian poem Waltzing Matilda by Banjo Patterson. For those who don’t know: a swagman
is a sort of rural itinerant and a billabong is a waterhole (pond). Its a nice
poem/song although the ending is not what you would call uplifting. If you want
to read the full thing, you’ll probably need lots of translation as it most
definitely in Australian English.
Waltzing Matilda
or the Brickshelf
gallery where you can find a rotation mpeg and a closer view of the
swaggie.
This nearly became the National Anthem so, but for a few votes, you may have
heard this played a lot at the Olympics.
Hope you like it,
Tim
PS. If I ever get a digi-cam I’ll make it “in the brick” and post pictures.
